[power tools whirring]

[engine revs]

[solemn music playing]

[chain clanking]

[Mark] The past couple of months

have been a big moment of reflection
for this shop.

Donating the XNR to the Petersen

was supposed to send us down a path
of building high-end custom cars,

but our first few big client deals
did not work out the way we expected.

[dramatic music playing]

Recently, we've pushed
those builds to the side

while we figure out
the best way to capitalize

on our new Rolodex
of high-profile clients.

And now that we've acquired the '64 Impala

on the hot tub car deal,

I think it's the perfect time
to execute a new plan.

The way I see it, this Impala...

is gonna help us fund

a one-of-a-kind Gotham Garage concept car.

Getting there won't be easy,

but this shop was built
on creative freedom

and without that,

we're nothing.

[power tools whirring]

[engine revs]

[tools clattering]

[Mark] How do you like
this sweet '64 Impala?

-I love Impalas.
-[Shawn] Definitely a good-looking car.

-[Caveman] Yeah.
-[Mark] This is a badass-looking car.

What are we doing with it?

The car is here

because it's gonna help us
to keep our creative freedom,

and it's gonna let us use
all our high-end connections

that we got from the XNR deal.

I want to build something
that we can put our name on,

that screams Gotham Garage.

We're gonna do a concept car.

From this piece of paper to real life.

[Tony] That's pretty cool.
I definitely wanna build a concept car.

We've talked about this before,
but why are we starting with an Impala

-to build a concept car?
-We're not.

This Impala is gonna help us
pay for that concept car.

I got you.
You want to roll this into that.

Exactly.

[Mark] Even though we've replicated
concept cars in the past,

we've never done one of our own.

That's because building a concept car

from inception to a finished product

is a very ambitious
and risky task to undertake.

Big car companies started building
concept cars back in the '50s.

It was to show off their styling
and their latest technology.

They would take these cars on tour
around the country

to sell the future vision
of their company.

It was basically a way to say,
"We have the best designers,

the best engineers, the best car builders,

so come buy a car from us."

And that's exactly what I want
our concept car to do for Gotham Garage.

Man, we all know what it costs
to make something like this.

-Yep.
-[Tony] But how are we gonna build it

exactly to your sketch?

We're going to build this
the same way we built the second XNR.

Remember, for that build,

we took a donor car and stripped it
all the way down to the chassis.

[Caveman] Oh yeah!

[Mark] And then we mounted
the XNR body down on top of it.

Same general idea for this,

except I wanna use a Corvette ZR1
for our donor car.

We'll strip it down,

then I'm gonna have a company
from Florida, Starr Creations,

they're gonna come up and build us
a fiberglass body that matches my design.

When we get our body, it will lock down
like it was meant to be there.

You remember how much work the XNR was.

We at least had something to replicate.

-This is a ton of money.
-You know...

-[Tony] A ton of work.
-[Mark] Once we build it,

we take it to an auction,
and we're gonna make bank off of it.

[Shawn]
And if we make it really, really nice

and hustle to get it done in time
for the next auction season,

the price could go really, really high.

It'll be the highest-end car
that we've built.

I just want to clarify.

Down for the dream,

but how much
does this little project cost up front?

[Mark] It's gonna cost us 50 grand
to have the Starr to come out here,

laser scan that Corvette,
and build us our body.

[Shawn] Plus another 20 grand
to get us a nice ZR1 to start off with.

So we're looking at 70 grand
just to get this build off the ground.

[Shawn] But most Impalas fixed up
aren't worth 70 grand.

[Mark] Unless we make it a lowrider.

That's where this is going.

It's gonna be a full-on
liquid hydraulic lowrider.

With lowriders, the whole thing started

because in the Hispanic community in LA,
they wanted to lower their cars.

So they were throwing bricks
and sandbags in the back.

California then passed a law
to make it illegal.

To bypass this law, lowrider builders

began installing hydraulics in the car

so that they could lift and lower it
at the flick of a switch.

But in all honesty, what makes
a lowrider stand apart from the crowd

is the paint.

These are some of the most
intricate paint jobs you'll ever see.

I understand how much work goes into
building one of these vehicles,

and because I've always wanted
to build a lowrider,

and because I have so much respect
for this culture,

I believe that we can get
the right amount of money from this car

to build that concept car.

Lowriders by Mark.

-[Caveman] Oh yeah!
-[all laugh]

[Shawn] But you know the risk
of building a lowrider.

The culture is probably the most specific
subculture in all of the car world.

I know what a lowrider looks like,
what that culture looks like.

As long as you do it their way,
it's perfect.

Yeah, I can see that.

[Mark] So I want to put the wheels
in motion on this concept car immediately

'cause these auctions
are right around the corner.

They're about two-and-a-half months away.

So I'm gonna go get ahold
of the Starr brothers

and find out when they can come out
and scan that chassis.

You need to find a ZR1 chassis.

I can get us a ZR1 tonight.

Good, and you guys get started
tearing this apart.

[Tony] We're already spending the money
for the next car,

and this car is not even started yet.

Come on, Caveman,
let's get these seats out of here.

Okey-dokey!

[Tony] I guess a good lowrider
has to have some tunes.

[Caveman] Oh yeah.

I don't think anybody doubts that
we can build a lowrider here at the shop.

Here. I'm not an interior decorator.
I'm an interior ex-decorator.

But the tricky thing is that lowriders
have such a wide variety of prices.

They can sell from 20 or 30 grand,

up to over 100 grand.

It's really all about
the level of detail you put into it.

[Caveman] Yay!

We're starting with a '64 Impala,
and that is the quintessential lowrider.

[Caveman] I love these old cars.

But we can't just expect

that we're gonna turn this car
into a lowrider and get paid.

[Caveman] Look, I found a quarter
on my side.

[Tony] That might be the only money
we make on this project, Caveman.

[Constance chuckles]

We need to find a buyer that's gonna
appreciate what we put into it.

They gotta like the paint
and the color and the details.

Otherwise, we are definitely
not getting 70 grand for this car.

What do you say? Is it Caveman approved?

Hell yeah, it is. It's comfortable.

I guess it's nap time.

That's how you know it's approved,
when I fall asleep.

[Constance and Tony laugh]

[owl hooting]

[rock music playing]

[engine revving]

I just picked up the perfect car
for our concept build.

It's a '93 Corvette ZR1.

This thing is pristine.

It's a perfect platform for what we need,

and I picked this car up for 18 grand,
which is a steal.

It has 405 horsepower.
They called it the "King of the Hill."

[engine revving]

When Mark sees this car,
he's gonna crap his pants.

[chuckles]

I'm gonna hammer it.

[music continues]

-Oh, look at this. Lookit here.
-[Shawn] Yeah.

-[Caveman] Right on!
-[Mark] Is it date night?

-[car door closes]
-[Shawn] '93 ZR1.

-Is this not the perfect donor car?
-This is a perfect donor car.

You finally brought something back that
I asked for exactly how I asked for it.

[Tony] It's almost too nice to chop up.

Yes, so the important part is

we have to be super careful
on how we take the parts off this car

'cause there's a lot of complicated stuff
going on here,

and if you screw something up,

we're gonna be
troubleshooting this forever.

[Caveman laughs]

[Mark] A lot of people
might not know this,

but Shawn is actually a savant
when it comes to Corvettes.

This is actually a handmade motor
designed by Lotus, if you can believe it.

-You need to slow your heart down a bit.
-Well, I'm excited!

[all laugh]

So, there is no one more qualified than
Shawn to lead this tear down right now.

-I got a great idea.
-[Shawn] What's that?

I'm gonna finally put you in charge
of a de-build.

-[Shawn] What?
-What?

Goldilocks, he's gonna have to get
those very well-manicured fingers

a little dirty, stripping this car apart.

He's gonna show you how to rip this apart
gingerly and save all the pieces.

I can do notes for you guys.

[Mark] I want it bagged, tagged
and labeled.

Change your shirt, let's go.

-Grab your coveralls.
-Really?

[tool hits the floor]

[Shawn] We need to take out
the headlights first.

-And those too.
-[Caveman] Okay.

[whirring]

[Shawn] The thing about these cars,
especially the ZR1...

Just gonna throw 'em over here.

...is that they're very complicated,
high-performance machines.

-Easy, no scratching.
-[clattering]

Oh! Easy!

I'll be honest, I wish Caveman
would've taken an early lunch

and just left this up to us.

All right, plug me in.

[saw whirring]

Ah! Now we're cooking! [laughs]

Because this car needs a surgeon
to dismantle it...

Hey, hey, hey, hey, on the tape.
What, are you kidding me?

...not a butcher.

[saw whirring]

He's stressing me out.

-[Caveman] Hey, we got a convertible.
-[laughs]

All right, good day. Good job.

I'll tell Starr Creations
they can come out

and scan this car whenever they're ready,

and Caveman,
you meet me at Gotham tomorrow.

-I need your help on that Impala.
-[Caveman] Oh yeah!

[rock music playing]

[Mark] Here's the deal.

-We're gonna get busy with the junk here.
-[Caveman laughs]

[Mark] We gonna put this car in the air,
we're gonna crack that wheel off,

-and we're gonna put in the hydraulic ram.
-[Caveman] Right on.

[electric wrench whirs]

More than anything else, there are
two calling cards of any legit lowrider,

the suspension and the style.

[dramatic music playing]

We're gonna completely overhaul
the suspension to make this car bounce.

We'll add hydraulic rams
on all four corners of the car.

To power the rams, we will install eight
batteries and two pumps in the trunk.

Inside the car, we will give it
an all-white diamond stitched interior.

It's a staple of any legitimate lowrider.

On the outside of the car, we'll give it
13-inch gold wire spoke wheels,

and we'll bring it all together

with a super intricate
custom lowrider paint job.

[electric wrench whirring]

-There we have it.
-All righty.

Let's get this car down off the lift
'cause we got a bunch of junk

-to put in the trunk.
-[Caveman] Whoo!

[rock music playing]

[Shawn] My job is never easy.

I mean, take lowriders for example.

I know this may come as a shock,

but I'm not super well-versed
in lowrider culture.

So I made a bunch of calls,

and I got connected with a few guys
that are deep in the lowrider scene.

So right now I'm gonna head out
and see if any of these guys

can help me track down a buyer
for our custom lowrider.

I mean, Mark wants me to find someone

that's willing to pay $70,000
for an authentic Impala lowrider.

Uh... [scoffs]

Challenge accepted.

-Hey, Jose, how's it going?
-Good.

Man, you told me you had a lowrider.
You didn't tell me you had the lowrider.

Look at that thing.

I have no doubt that Mark
is gonna build a really cool lowrider.

-Papa Bear!
-Hey, how's it going?

And Smokey, right?

-Yep.
-Hey, hey.

But the big question
is finding the right buyer.

Hey, Robert. Making it look good.

Oh, thank you.

In order to do that,
Big Shawn's gotta hit the streets.

We're actually building a '64 Impala...

Is that right?

-...making it into a lowrider at our shop.
-Nice.

But we've never built
a lowrider before so...

I need to meet these guys.
I need to talk with these guys.

[Jose] You said '64 Impala.
I mean, they're hot.

-[Shawn] That's the hot ticket?
-They're hot, yeah.

Any Impala's hot right now.

We need to get 70 grand.
Is that a realistic figure, you think?

Absolutely.
The money is gonna be in the paint job.

The money is gonna be in the chrome.

I need to make as many new connections
as I can to help me track down a buyer.

Do you know anybody that's in the market
for a high-end lowrider?

No.

Any chance you know someone that's
looking for a custom lowrider right now?

No.

[Shawn] Now here's the big thing.

Do you know anybody that's actually
interested in throwing down some cash

for a lowrider built by us?

Yes. There's a cat named Dyse.

-He's out of San Diego.
-Dyse, huh?

Thing is, he's a hard guy to get ahold of.

If you want to get to Dyse,
you've got to go through his buddy Israel.

-Okay.
-He's a big time player out there

in the lowrider world.

Right now
I'm at the point where I'll do anything.

If I got to get a tattoo
of some dice on my neck

-just to see this guy, I'll do it.
-[laughs]

All things considered,
this is very good news.

Even though
nothing's a sure thing right now,

I'm walking away with a solid lead,

and the only thing we can do from here
is hope this thing pans out.

Can you text me over that number?

And man, I really appreciate the help.
Thanks, man.

-No problem. Thanks.
-I'll catch up with you later.

-Okay, you take care.
-Thanks, man.

-What's up, Mark?
-[Tony] Hey!

-You brought your brother.
-I brought Jesse.

Aaron and Jesse Starr own a company
in Florida called Starr Creations,

and they make one-of-a-kind,
custom fiberglass bodies for cars.

I've sent them my designs,

and now we've flown them out here

so that they can scan
the Corvette chassis.

-All right.
-So, this is what you're scanning today.

This will give them
all the specs they need

to make the custom fiberglass body
that will go down over our chassis.

So how does it all work?

Well, basically,
what we have is a 3D laser scanner.

We scan it into the computer.
It'll create this car before your eyes.

It's awesome.

The process of laser scanning this car
is, like, this futuristic,

next level, mad science stuff.

When these guys are done,

what they're gonna have is an exact
3D computer model of this car.

These guys are shooting laser beams
all over this car.

The laser beams take
all of that real information and data,

every inch, every piece of the car,

everything that's perfect or imperfect,

and it translates it
right into the computer.

They're gonna take that back to Florida,

and from there,
they can create a fiberglass body

from Mark's design
that fits perfect over this chassis.

It's a pretty cool process how that works.

Yeah, I love it. It would take me days,

if I had to measure these pieces
and build a CAD model around it.

I just love the process these guys did
with the tape and the scan.

Are you still with me here?

I think it needs more.

More what?

You gonna get Shawn out here?

I'm not walking to his office.

[line ringing]

Obviously, this concept car

is the biggest project
we've ever taken on.

So, if we're gonna go there,

then I'm gonna go there.

Looking at this chassis
and this vision coming to life,

I think we can take this even more
over the top than we already are.

-I got two words for you.
-Two?

COE, Futura.

Remember how much we got
'cause they sold as a pair?

I think it needs a matching bike.

[Tony] We're in pretty deep
with the project.

Now he's got to get in
a little bit deeper.

Package deals always get more money
than the single car.

So, if we make a matching bike
to go with this,

and sell them as a box set.

So I was thinking we get, like, a...
get a crotch rocket.

-A Hayabusa.
-That would actually be pretty cool.

A Hayabusa is an insanely fast motorcycle.

It's a sport bike.

When they first came out, they were
the fastest production bike ever.

These things do, like, 200 miles an hour.

If Mark wants to create a pairing
with the concept car,

this is absolutely the perfect bike
to do it with.

Do you not realize
what this car is taking to finish?

This is gonna take all our cash reserves
and then some.

-And wait...
-We're not gonna spend money.

-We've already...
-[Mark] We'll trade for it.

And if we get a free bike, it's not gonna
take that much money or time...

-Free?
-...to make it look like this.

-[laughs]
-[Mark] You know what?

I'll go get the Prius,
and you can trade that for a bike.

The Prius?

[Mark] The Prius we got
when we did the woodie deal.

If we modify that car

and give it a Gotham Garage makeover,

it'll absolutely match the value
of a Hayabusa.

If you can't trade a Prius
that's Gotham Garaged out,

you need a new job.

Even though the concept car is a big risk,

I'm all on board
for accommodating Mark's vision,

but now Mark wants to double down on that.

You've gotta wonder whether or not
we're pushing our luck right here.

-[Mark] It'll happen.
-[Tony] You can do it.

-Well, I know I can do it.
-Then go do it.

It's ridiculous,
but I think that's my job nowadays.

-It is your job.
-Doing the ridiculous.

Tony, get with Constance
and get a metal order together.

You guys are gonna start
the project of a lifetime:

carving up a Prius.

And then, I'm gonna head over
to the other shop

and help Caveman finish up
the hydraulics on the Impala.

[rock music playing]

All right, so we got
the lines run into the trunk.

Now, in this hole,

we gotta put all this stuff in there
without killing ourselves.

All right.

[Mark] Caveman finished putting
the hydraulic rams on all four corners,

and he ran the hydraulic lines
all the way to the trunk.

Now it's time to make this bad boy bounce.

First things first, grab this rack.
Let's get it in the trunk.

Most people that see a lowrider bouncing
down the street think,

"Oh, wow. That's really cool."

What they don't understand,
it's a very complicated mechanism.

[Caveman] Just weld it.

[Mark] There is a lot of electrical

and a lot of hydraulic
that has to be hooked up,

and it all has to be hooked up right.

It all starts
with eight batteries in the trunk.

Those batteries now power
the hydraulic pump.

The pump sends the fluid to the ram,
and the ram goes up and down.

That's what makes the car hop.

So this little machine that we're making,

it's got to be able to bounce up and down
without coming apart.

It's kind of like
the old Christmas lights.

If you plug them together wrong
and one bulb goes out,

now you gotta figure out
which bulb went out,

how you're gonna to replace it.

And then you're like, "Well, it's not
that bulb. It's got to be this bulb."

It's a very complicated setup.

Problem with this car,
it's a lot more thinking than you think.

So we're here at Gotham Garage,

and we have an Impala
trying to eat a Mark.

Let's see how that turns out.

[Mark] All righty, let's see if it works.

-If you see any smoke, run.
-[Caveman] Yeah.

[Mark] Just... Okay.

Tap it.

[switch clicks]

Okay, do nothing.

Try it, up.

[switch clicks]

Uh, again.

-[whizzes]
-Now we're going.

[Caveman] Whoa! Hey, it bounced.

Oh! Bouncy, bouncy! Whoo!

Right on. Go.

[mumbling]

That's what my head feels like. [laughs]

[Mark] It bounces.
Now we can take it to paint.

Okay, let's take it.

[Mark] Get this prepped
for the paint booth.

I'm gonna go meet up
with Tony and Constance

-and get them lined out on the Prius.
-[Caveman] See ya.

[groovy music playing]

[horn honks]

Good thing he honked,
'cause I didn't hear him coming.

[brakes squealing]

-It's got good brakes.
-You look good in that thing.

[Mark] Yeah, I brought the jam.
I'm the styler.

This is our new car, our new project.

This is how we're gonna
get the bike for the prototype car.

We are going to turn this
into the first-ever

wide-body, badass Prius on the planet.

The thing about a Prius is
it's actually a pretty fast car.

It just doesn't look like it.

So if we want to trade
this boring commuter car

for the super powerful Hayabusa,

then we have to make it look
as fast as it really is.

The transformation starts
with the exterior of the car.

We'll rip off a bunch of body panels,

and custom fabricate
a wide-body racing kit on the car.

We'll add a set
of modern wheels and tires.

We'll give it a custom designed wrap,

and then we'll deck out the whole car
with a ton of custom details.

You guys want to get into
tearing this apart?

I'm going to go back into the Impala
with Caveman.

-[Constance] Sounds good.
-[Tony] All right.

I don't want to be this person
to say that, like,

the Prius, I feel like,
is where I draw the line...

but I feel like the Prius
is where I draw the line.

[Tony] I think it's gonna be pretty cool.

[Constance] It should be very interesting.

[Tony] Interesting?

[Constance] Yeah.
That's the word I'm specifically using.

The electric Pinto. That's cool.

It's a Pinto, that's really badass.

The Smart car, that's cool. It's rugged.
Like, I could work with that.

-It looks better already.
-[laughing] Yeah?

The Prius...

[sighs]

[chuckles quietly]

[Tony] Want me to grab one end?

[Constance]Yeah.

I think that's about it.

I kind of like it.

-[laughs]
-I wanna see how it comes out.

-[whooshing]
-[Tony] Yes.

Next, we're gonna build
the wide-body for this car.

[Constance] I'm very interested.

[groovy music playing]

[line ringing]

[man on phone] Hello?

Yeah. Hey, my name is Shawn. I'm...

I'm calling regarding the ad
for the bike you have for sale or trade.

-[man 1] Yeah. What were you thinking?
-[Shawn] Yeah.

Well, we actually have
a one-off custom car.

It's a subcompact, and I'm thinking
maybe that might strike your interest.

[man 1] What kind of car is it, Shawn?

It's a Prius.

[man 1] A what?

People in the trade world,
they're open to different things,

but there are certain parameters
when it comes to trading.

And if you don't follow those parameters,
you're not going to be very successful.

-[man 2 on phone] What kind of car is it?
-It's a Prius.

Yeah, it's a Toyota Prius, actually.

It's a subcompact. Uh, you know, it's a...

-It's a Prius.
-[man 3] Okay, subcompact... A what?

A Prius, Toyota Prius.

[man 3 laughs]

You don't always have to trade
apples for apples.

You could trade an apple for an orange,
a motor for a car.

[phone line beeps]

Uh, Jack?

A good, solid Hayabusa
is gonna cost us about 13 G's.

That's the whole point of trading for it,

but when you're trying to trade
a Prius for a Hayabusa...

I mean, that's like trading an apple
for a hockey stick.

All right, that's... that's another "no".

So not only am I responsible for selling
a lowrider to pay for the concept car,

but now I have to pull off the most
elusive trade in automotive history.

I know you're out there.

I'm gonna find you,
and I'm going to rub it in Mark's face.

[rock music playing]

-Hey, Pete.
-So what's it getting?

-Green. Metal flake in green.
-Okay. Flake too, huh?

Yeah, it's layer after layer
after layer after layer.

-[man] Good luck, buddy.
-[Mark laughs]

The one thing that sets
every lowrider apart is the paint job.

This is not the kind of paint job
you can do in one day.

This is the kind of paint job
that you have to do in multiple stages

over the course of days.

Touch the floor or the car,
get that dust on your hands...

[Caveman] All right.

[Mark] ...so you don't put your oily skin
on the car.

Now you can touch stuff.

Unlike a normal paint job,

with a lowrider paint job,

you're trying to build
an intricate pattern.

Lowriders are kind of like a fingerprint.

No two are the same.

It's just the expression of the person

that's actually laying the paint
down on the car.

That can be kind of scary

because the paint job is actually
what's gonna set the value of the car.

So it really comes down to,
"Are they going to like my thumbprint,

or are they going to hate it?"

Right, first stage is done.

I see some cool design coming through.

Yeah, it's got a long way to go, bro.

I was talking to Shawn
about a wide-body kit on this,

and it turns out they pretty much cost
more than this whole car is worth.

-So...
-Sounds a lot like we're making one.

So we got to make
a wide-body kit for the Prius.

It's the only way to make this trade work.

Okay.

A wide-body on a Prius, I mean...

All right. So we'll start with some
of this round bar. Let's do this.

These Priuses, you think about
soccer mom, maybe a commuter.

This is our custom bending jig.

But they're really not that slow.
They've got some performance in there.

-You got it? Here it goes.
-[Constance] Yep.

What we're gonna do
is make the body match the performance.

So when you see it, you're not
really thinking "commuter car".

You're thinking "race car".

-[Tony clears throat]
-Okay.

[Tony] It's kind of a crazy scheme
to think that we're gonna take this Prius

and we're gonna trade it for a Hayabusa.

All right.
Let's see what we can do on the front.

I don't know. I mean, maybe it'll...
Maybe it'll work out.

I like the butt we gave it in the back,
you know, the extra booty.

-[laughs] That's for speed.
-Yeah, yeah. Looks fast.

I think we're about done.

Let's get this thing off to body work,
and then we'll get it wrapped.

Then we're gonna add
all the crazy touches.

Okay.

In the meantime, we can help with
the Impala when Mark's done painting it.

Sounds good.

[phone chiming]

[Shawn] Hello.

[Israel on phone] Hello,
I'm returning Shawn's phone call.

Hey, Israel.
Hey, thanks for calling me back.

Through my new lowrider connections,

I got a solid lead
on a potential buyer named Dyse.

I just heard from a few of my connections

that your buddy Dyse
might be in the market for a lowrider.

[Israel] Oh, he is, he is.

Getting access to this guy,
you got to go through his buddy, Israel.

I've heard about you guys,
I've seen the cars you build,

and you guys build pretty sick ass cars.

I just don't want to waste Dyse's time.

Can you tell me a little bit
about the car?

Well, we're building
a custom '64 Impala lowrider.

I mean, we're... we're talking
about a high-end build here,

you know, with the hydraulics, the paint,

down to the wheels and the interior,
I mean, we're sparing no expense.

I just think it's something that Dyse
might be very interested in checking out.

[Israel] You know what, man...

I guess if you can send me pictures,

then me and Dyse
will go through the pictures

and give you guys a call back.

Well, I mean, that...
that sounds pretty good.

Hopefully, this deal with Dyse works out
because it could be perfect.

[Israel] I can't give you any guarantees,
but we'll decide right away.

Okay. Hey, I appreciate it, Israel.

[Israel] Okay, we'll be in contact.

Otherwise, it's back to the drawing board

because this is the best lead
I have right now.

[sighs] All right. Well, that works.

[rock music playing]

Final day of paint. You ready, Caveman?

What do you mean?
You're gonna do all the work! [laughs]

-That looks pretty.
-[Mark] Yep.

The good thing about this paint job
is everybody's gonna look at it.

-The bad thing about this paint job?
-[Caveman laughs]

Everybody's gonna look at it.

Now that the first few stages
of the paint have cured,

I'm gonna apply the final stage.

It's a little nerve-racking,
at this stage of the paint job,

because as I pull each layer of tape,
I am now finding out

that I do that particular stage
of this paint job correctly

and in the right order.

It's almost impossible
to fix one of these paint jobs.

The goal here is to get
all of the textures of the previous stages

to shine through
this last stage of this paint job.

Don't worry. I hear what everybody says
on the interweb about my spider webs.

But they're my thing,
so I'm putting them on the car.

Sorry, haters.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Tony] It is a whole lot of green.
-[Constance chuckles]

-That's a lot of days of painting.
-Right?

Definitely something different
we haven't done here.

So all we gotta do now
is slam it all back together.

-Sounds good.
-We'll get to it.

[Mark] Taking on this lowrider build
was all about

paying homage and showing respect
to the lowrider culture.

We started
with the quintessential lowrider,

a '64 Chevy Impala.

I think that we have done a very good job,

from the paint job
to all the engine turning,

to the interior, the hydraulics,
to the plaque in the back window.

I think this thing is going to be
as authentic as possible.

["Noizy Perreo" by Zalento playing]

[Mark] Our whole business model
is based around taking risks,

but when you're betting on yourself
and you're betting on this shop,

that's a risk I'm willing to take.

[music continues]

We took this half-done Impala
that we acquired in the hot tub deal

and turned it into a legit lowrider.

[music continues]

We stayed as true to the culture
as we possibly could,

but the real test will be
whether or not our buyer

appreciates every detail and every layer.

If not, this car will not get us 70 grand.

[rock 'n' roll music playing]

I'm pretty impressed on how
this lowrider came out.

This is accurate to a true,
classic lowrider.

Well, no pressure on you,

but you're gonna have to sell it
for at least 70 grand.

No doubt. If you can impress Dyse,
we're in the money.

All the work
I put in on the streets paid off.

[Israel on phone] So I showed
the pictures to Dyse,

and, uh, he really wants
to check out the car.

Israel. That is good news.

But even though Dyse is willing
to check out our car,

it is far from a done deal.

This guy knows his lowriders.

He's in the heart of the community,

so if we don't impress him,
then he's walking.

The house of cards that we've got going
right now is stacked pretty damn high.

We've already bought the Corvette ZR1

and put the wheels in motion
to make the body for the concept car.

Not to mention,
we got a half-built Prius at the shop,

and I got no leads on anyone
that will trade a Hayabusa for that car.

If we're gonna get top dollar
for this lowrider,

we better hope that Mark
made it as authentic as possible.

You made it.

-How's it going?
-It's good, man.

Our buyer, Dyse,
is a die-hard lowrider guy.

If this car isn't a hundred percent
true to the culture,

forget about 70 grand.

This guy'll tell us to put it back
on our trailer and take it on home.
